Quotes of the Week:

1. "He would be conventionally handsome if he didn't have a beaky nose; but it is a nice on, a large, humorous organ." - A Single Man
2. "The past is just something that's over." - A Single Man
3. "She hasn't seen him do this asinine thing. Which is truly providential because, if she had seen him, she would have insisted on his staying the night; which would have meant, well, at the very least, such a late breakfast that it would have been brunch; which would have meant me drinks; which would have meant siesta and supper, and more and more and more drinks to follow. . . . This has actually happened, before now."- A Single Man
4. "I woke up as the sun was reddening; and that was the one distinct time in my life, the strangest moment of all, that I didn't know who I was... I was far away from home haunted and tired with travel, in a cheap hotel room I'd never seen, hearing the hiss of steam outside, and the creak of the old wood of the hotel, and footsteps upstairs and all the sad sounds, and I looked at the cracked high ceiling and really didn't know who I was for about fifteen strange seconds. I wasn't scared, I was just somebody else, some stranger, and my whole life was a haunted life, the life of a ghost...." - On the Road

So.... I know I've only really been reading the minimum each week (hey but at least I increased two pages!) but I'm really going to read a lot this weekend (hopefully).
